the complex
The Complex serves as the home to the Valdosta State basketball programs as well as Blazer volleyball. One of the rowdiest arenas in the NCAA Division II ranks, The Complex seats 5,350 fans for each Blazer home event. The venue nearly reached it's capacity during the 2009-10 men's basketball season, when a record 4,616 fans gathered on February 27, 2010 to watch Valdosta State take on the West Georgia Wolves.
The Complex has undergone several renovations since its opening in 1983 and is today one of the top arenas in the Gulf South Conference. The most recent update and perhaps one of the largest to the facility was a complete renovation of the lobby area in 2013. Locker room renovations were also implemented that same year. Prior to the 2006-07 season, the lower level seating along each sideline was replaced with new cushioned armchair-style seats. The entire south side seating in the lower level, as well as selected rows on the north side, are reserved seating for Valdosta State's season ticket holders. Meanwhile, the lower end zone seating area, as well as the entire upper bowl, features bench style seating.
The benches for athletic events are located along the side sideline of the arena. Meanwhile, the west end zone bleachers are used to seat the Valdosta State cheerleaders, Red Hots dance team and pep band as well as the student-run Complex Crazies. The Complex also serves as a concert venue for select shows throughout the year, and graduation ceremonies are also often held in the arena.
In addition to the arena, The Complex also houses newly renovated locker rooms for Valdosta State's two basketball teams, the volleyball program and the school's two tennis teams. The south hall of the building also features two visiting team locker rooms as well as faculty locker rooms.
